Chapter 048 The Prophecy of the Returner 2
Therefore, he felt that he might as well be more direct, which would be more in line with the style of the Knights of Time and Space and would make it easier for him to fit in perfectly.
Of course, Chen She had absolutely no intention of truly integrating into the Space-Time Knights. He simply felt that it would be safer this way.
Chen She did not directly collect or absorb the space-time particle, but temporarily placed it on the table and asked: "Thank you very much. However, may I ask why your Knights attach so much importance to me? Is it just because I have a strong synesthesia ability?"
He was actually very worried that the Time and Space Knights had already known about Epsilon, so he wanted to test them a little, at least to find out the details of these people in the Time and Space Knights first.
Grantham smiled slightly: "No problem, these are not secrets to you."
"Actually, I am also following the orders of the Red Priest."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Before Lord Epsilon, our Spacetime Knights once had a high priest who was a prophet of level seven energy fluctuations."
"Before she died, she predicted that Master Epsilon would be strangled by the big financial groups, but this is not the end of everything. Master Epsilon will bring back a 'returner' from the world of time and space."
"Under the leadership of this returner, the Silver Star, the Old Land, the Spacetime World... everything will return to its origin."
"And so far, the first half of this prophecy has been fulfilled."
"So, we firmly believe that Master Epsilon is still alive and is searching for the Returner in the world of time and space as predicted."
"It is even possible that the Returnee has already come into this world!"
Chen She was a little confused and lost control of his emotions for a moment. Fortunately, he had the aura of Epsilon as a curse scholar, so he was not discovered.
The Knights of Time and Space actually had a prophet of level seven energy fluctuations?
My goodness, they are really a bunch of charlatans.
A prophet is not an ability related to synaesthesia, but a profession with primary psychic power and secondary computing power. Chen She had never heard of a prophet who could reach the seventh level of energy fluctuation.
The profession whose main element is synesthesia and whose secondary element is computing power is the Curse Scholar of Epsilon.
It seems that only high-level charlatans can become the chief priest of the Knights of Time and Space.
As for this returnee...why does he sound a bit like me?
But this is definitely not good news, because there is something wrong with the name!
Isn't this the same as Epsilon's ultimate goal? Everything returns to the source, which means the annihilation of all mankind!
No, no, this prophecy is definitely not accurate.
Even if it is accurate, it will never happen to you.
Chen She couldn't accept this fact and asked, "If this returnee has already come to this world, how can you confirm it?"
Grantham smiled and said, "We cannot confirm it, but one thing is certain. Since this returnee was found by Master Epsilon in the world of time and space, he must have a strong ability of synesthesia."
"So, we priests actually have a supreme mission: to follow the orders of the Red Priest and search for anyone with strong synesthesia, because any one of them could be the Returner."
"Even if they are not, these people must have an inseparable connection with our Spacetime Knights and will be a powerful helper in our future."
"And your synesthesia ability is indeed outstanding among the people we have found so far."
Hearing this, Chen She breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it seems that the other party did not recognize me as the returnee.
This should be due to the limitations of the test. Obviously, some people with strong synesthesia can also absorb all the space-time particles in their hands. In this regard, Chen She may not have a significant gap with these people.
Therefore, Grantham only treated him with high standards, believing that he might be a candidate for the return of the origin, and a person with top synesthesia who could be won over, but he did not fully confirm him.
If that's the case... then there is still hope.
After two brief dealings, Chen She discovered that these people from the Space-Time Knights were really of the same character as Epsilon.
As the chief priest is, so are the priests.
They are all quite stubborn!
For example, Grantham spoke very frankly about the returnees, and seemed to have no intention of hiding anything. And after some deduction, Chen She felt that these words were very likely to be true!
Brother, this is only the second time we've met, is this appropriate for you?
If you continue to do this, won't the Time and Space Knights soon be infiltrated like a sieve, filled with undercover agents sent by a large consortium?
No, not necessarily.
Chen She suddenly thought that he could see the connection between time and space, but so could this priest.
In other words, this priest can also determine the other party's connection with the Knights of Time and Space to a certain extent, and can see whether his subordinates are loyal.
This does not seem to be an exclusive skill of the Curse Scholar, but Chen She guessed that the accuracy of this ability should change with the synesthesia ability, and there must be a suppressive effect of the upper level on the lower level. The specific accuracy depends on the level of energy fluctuation and the rarity of the profession.
But no matter what, there should be quite a few high-ranking members in the Space-Time Knights who make decisions based on this illusory and metaphysical connection between time and space.
Since a lot of information is laid out in plain sight and clear at a glance, there is really no need for so many twists and turns.
No wonder these people from the Space-Time Knights behave in a similar style to Epsilon.
This is a group of people who use cheats. In fact, they don't need so much scheming when it comes to cheats, so in order to achieve the highest efficiency, everyone becomes straightforward and stubborn.
but……
Chen She also has a cheat, and it is more advanced than this priest's.
Obviously, in the eyes of this priest, Chen She was fine and indeed had a very close relationship with the Knights of Spacetime. There was nothing wrong with directly revealing all this information to him as a trustworthy person. This could both express sincerity and bring the relationship closer as soon as possible.
In a sense, it is true that Chen She has a very close connection with the Knights of Time and Space, but this priest obviously misunderstood. Chen She has never been of the same mind as them...
After figuring this out, Chen She suddenly felt that he could take advantage of this.
Currently, due to various reasons, the Knights of Time and Space have good trust in him.
Chen She could just take advantage of this, or rather, it would be a mistake not to take advantage of it.
It was obvious that the Space-Time Knights had a natural liking for him, and they were just short of treating him as a distinguished guest. As the relationship between the two sides became closer and closer, the risk of Chen She being exposed became greater and greater.
What if the Knights of Time and Space find out about what’s going on between Epsilon and Chen She?
They would definitely turn against each other immediately and kill Chen She a hundred times to speed up Epsilon's resurrection and return as the king!
Although this possibility does not seem very high at the moment, we must be on guard for the sake of safety!
Even though Grantham was very kind now, Chen She had no doubt that once the critical moment came, Grantham would turn hostile faster than turning the pages of a book.
Never think that you can be friends with a madman, even if you have the potential to become a madman.
Therefore, the mere existence of the Space-Time Knights' branch in Dawn City already posed a threat to Chen She.
For Chen She, either he had to let this branch in Grantham suffer heavy damage and shift his attention elsewhere, or he had to keep this branch completely under his control.
To be on the safe side, this is the only way.
But it is definitely impossible to control the branch of the Time and Space Knights at the moment. We may not win in a fight, and even if we win, we will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, we can only think of ways to divert their attention to other places, and use other forces as much as possible to consume the power of this branch and divert Grantham's attention...
The so-called other forces can only be the big capitalists.
It would be perfect if the Space-Time Knights could fight the Icefield Defense Group or the Fujido Group...
But there seemed to be no reason for them to fight each other. If Chen She directly fanned the flames, it would be too strange, and the halo of the cursed scholar might not be able to make up for the past.
So, we still have to find the most suitable opportunity...
Chen She thought a lot, but these thoughts were all completed in his conscious world and only lasted for a short moment in the real world.
Grantham stood up and said, "I have other things to deal with. I'll take my leave now."
"Please take care of yourself, Mr. Chen. We will see each other again soon."
Chen She actually wanted to ask about the Space-Time Knights' ongoing kidnapping of homeless people, but after thinking about it, he decided to ask later.
After all, he and Grantham were not that familiar with each other yet, and asking would probably not get an answer, and would be counterproductive.
…
After seeing Grantham off, Chen She returned to the rest area and continued his carving.
After carving for a while, he seemed to suddenly remember something and tapped the bracelet a few times.
Then he sighed silently.
The speed at which "The Embers Are Going Out" makes money is too fast!
In fact, Chen She had already made many decisions that cost money, such as opening branches, building bases in the wilderness, etc.
But the problem is that there is no sign of a new Mewtwo yet, the money is still lying in the account, and the speed at which "Embers of Desolation" makes money has accelerated!
Chen She had no idea how long it would take for him to make money.
It is really not safe for such a large sum of money to lie in the company's account. If it lies for too long, the rebels will definitely start clamoring to buy large weapons again.
And in the world of consciousness, the risk of profit on the pendulum also fluctuates.
I have to think of a good way to spend the money.
But the problem was that Chen She really couldn't think of any good solution for the time being, because there were not many places to spend big money, and he had to make it acceptable to the rebels.
Just then, Chen She noticed two figures outside the experience store, acting sneaky and a little familiar.
Behind these two figures, there were at least a dozen people following.
…
Outside the experience store, Su Zhiyong and Ji Yongkang were giving numerous instructions to the people behind them.
"After you go in, don't act too surprised, and don't alarm the master, because the master has already hinted to us when we came here last time!"
"Last time we came, we asked the master if we could buy the sculptures or become his apprentice, but he waved his hand. I think what the master meant was that whether buying or becoming his apprentice is just a formality and has no meaning. In other words, let us freely comprehend these sculptures and pay more attention to the perception of the connotation!"
"So, everyone, just play Mewtwo normally, and treat it as taking care of the master's business. When you're not playing Mewtwo , you can take a look at the sculptures on display. The master might also be carving. But again, don't disturb the master!"
"He is the founder of a new art school, a master who founded a new school. I think his level is higher than those respected old professors in our college. Everyone must show respect to him. Do you understand?"
Some people were puzzled: "It's impossible. If he is such a master, why would he stay in such a place?"
Ji Yongkang glared at him and said, "Have you ever heard of the saying that great people hide in the city? I'll emphasize this for the last time. Show some respect!"
"When you see those works and the techniques of the masters, you will be shocked like us, your eyes will pop out of your head!"
The people following behind were all Su Zhiyong and Ji Yongkang’s classmates at Liming City Higher Academy of Arts.
Among these people, some support the realistic school, while others support the supersensory school.
After Su Zhiyong and Ji Yongkang returned, everyone was curious. Didn't they agree to experience "Embers Are Going Out" and then continue the debate? Why are they so listless? Are they not going to debate anymore?
Could it be that he was tortured so badly by "The Last Embers" that even his argumentative nature was cured?
Does this Chaomeng have such magical functions?
After asking, I found out that although the two of them were indeed badly beaten by Mewtwo, it was not because of this.
It’s because they saw something in the experience store that was enough to destroy their artistic beliefs!
So Su Zhiyong and Ji Yongkang began to explain this new "surrealist genre" to everyone, and they also provided photos as evidence.
At first, people didn't believe it. After all, how could a new art school just come out?
The two art schools of today are built up by countless masters using a large number of ready-made works of art, and they have withstood the test of time.
Many of those so-called new genres do not remain popular for long and soon disappear in the long river of history.
Now, hearing that there is a new school, and it is so mysterious, everyone's first reaction is disbelief.
But after Su Zhiyong and Ji Yongkang took out the photos, others had to believe it.
Because this is truly a whole new genre of art!
Moreover, the fact that Su Zhiyong and Ji Yongkang, two top students who were incompatible with each other, were both convinced was enough to explain the problem.
But just looking at the photos will definitely make you feel a little itchy. How can you be content with such a sculpture with such strong artistic power without seeing it in person?
What's more, these two people also said that there is not only this sculpture in the experience store, but also many other sculptures!
These sculptures include realistic and supersensory styles, covering a variety of themes. Pick out any one of them and you will find it is a perfect combination of subject matter, connotation and technique.
With this description, many people immediately imagined this experience store as an artist's paradise.
How can this be tolerated?
Therefore, all these people wanted to follow Su Zhiyong and Ji Yongkang to see the world.
Su Zhiyong and Ji Yongkang also couldn't forget it, so they brought everyone here. But before entering the door, they said in advance that everyone could watch, but they must not make the master angry.
Everyone entered the experience store one by one and lined up to pay.
After seeing the dazzling array of sculptures on the shelves, these students finally couldn't hold themselves back anymore. Although they tried hard to suppress their expressions, they still lost control of their facial expressions, and expressions of shock froze on their faces.
There were also many people pretending to casually look at Chen She who was sitting in the rest area, and they were immediately shocked by his exquisite carving skills.
Chen She was speechless.
Yes, I knew these two people would not give up and would definitely come again!
But it was just right, he took this opportunity to ask them something.
"You two, come here." Chen She waved at Su Zhiyong and Ji Yongkang.
The two people felt a little surprised. They didn't expect that the master would let us pass?
But then, they were filled with anxiety again. Could it be that the master was blaming us for bringing too many people here and disturbing his peace?
It seems that I have to pay more money in the experience store to please the master.
Su Zhiyong and Ji Yongkang came to Chen She and said respectfully, "Master, what do you want me to do?"
Chen She looked them up and down carefully and was sure that these two people must be from wealthy families and were not ordinary second-generation rich people.
However, they did not have any special color on them, which meant that they were not familiar with Chen She yet and had not established a close connection with him. Nor did they have the light blue space-time connection that represented a possible special connection in the future.
So, there shouldn't be much danger.
And Chen She had a question that was perfect for them.
"I will ask you a question. Whoever answers well will get this statue." As Chen She spoke, the statue in his hand was about to be completed.
Su Zhiyong and Ji Yongkang both showed extremely surprised expressions on their faces: "Master, just ask!"
Chen She considered his words for a moment and asked, "For a company, besides the conventional methods of consuming space-time particles and spending money... can you think of some special ways?"
Zhang Sirui was right next to them, so Chen She didn't want to ask too bluntly.
In fact, he wanted to ask if there was any way to quickly consume some of the money and space-time particles on hand, and at the same time find a reason that the rebels would accept.
Conventional methods are definitely useless because Chen She has almost thought of them all, so he can only find some special ways.
These two young men seem to be either rich or noble, and their families must be wealthy and powerful. Maybe they have access to some core information within their own company and may know some special channels.
Asking them would be much faster than Chen She racking his brains to figure it out himself.
Both Su Zhiyong and Ji Yongkang fell into deep thought. It was obvious that this question required them to think carefully before answering it.
Suddenly, Su Zhi had a flash of inspiration.
He lowered his voice and said, "I have an idea! Spacetime broadcast, what do you think, Master?"
"Spacetime broadcast is actually attached to the network, that is, a special broadcast in the hash space. It can also be seen as a kind of anonymous forum. Its characteristics are that it is difficult to track and has extremely high security. As long as a certain amount of spacetime particles is consumed, it can be entered through some loopholes in the Super Dream Game Cabin."
"If you want to obtain some commercial secrets that are difficult to find on the Internet, this should be a good choice."
“Or you can also consider establishing your own channel in time and space broadcasting to promote your company.”
"Of course, this thing is a little gray, but since all the big companies are using it, everyone knows it..."
